The total valid sample size is 2,580 which are summarised in the UK report. Of that number, 746 people were located in Greater Manchester for which we have also produced a specific summary report.

The findings suggest that LGB people are disproportionately affected by;

hate crime

discrimination and bullying

mental health issues

many cancer risk factors such as smoking

sexually transmitted infections

time off work due to stress and substance use

The data also suggests that LGB people are actively involved in their communities, out to many people about their sexual orientation, and able to take advantage of increased social acceptance and legal protections.
